The solution is very easy as follows. Please open the bottom and do the soldering on 4 points easily. It is because the old solderings were losed. U can ask for help from someone who has a soldering gun for electronics.The solution is very easy as follows. Please open the bottom and do the soldering on 4 points easily.

I have found my friend who is very familiar in electionic and small appliances to help me. I can fix it too, but unfortunately I do not have any soldering tools and parts here. I will bring it to Hong Kong and let my friend to fix it. It's very cheap if we find anyone to fix it in China where Magellan is assembled . Thanks.

One of the wires in your power cord could be broken. If you have the
a/c adapter, see if you can power up with that. If you know someone
else with a working Magellan, you could borrow his cord to test your
unit.

If not, check the car adapter with a continuity tester. Put one tester
probe on one of the side springs of the car plug and the other probe on
the outside metal of the GPS plug. If that shows continuity, place one
tester probe on the end tip of the car plug and the other inside the
the GPS plug.

If
either of those do not show continuity, first take apart the auto side
of the cord. Check the fuse and the wire to contact solder joints. If
they seem okay, carefully cut back the molded plastic from the GPS end
and examine the wire to solder joints. If any are broken, replace the
cord or resolder the joints.
